I for one think that this forum is off to a great start. I was a little concerned about whether we'd have any members stick around past the first day but it's been a couple of weeks and I'm liking the action. So far we've done a bit of promotion via a link on TractorByNet and PMs on LawnMowerForum---it's great to see diversity of topics brought on by those different perspectives. But we haven't invited our ~200,000 friends from TractorByNet over yet.
So, I want to make a bit of a splash when we do that, and my idea is to do this with a contest.
The contest will run for a month and feature a number of friendly community building tasks to give people free entries into the contest. Then at the end of the month, we'll do a drawing to pick three winners.
What I need your suggestions on, is prizes. I was thinking of one grand prize (a welder), a runner up prize, and a third place. My prize related questions are:
- What brand of welder should we give away?
- What would be a good runner up prize? (figure up to $150 price range)
- What would be a good third place prize? (up to $50 price range)
All items should be related to welding in one way or another.
